Entertainment is provided by 36” TV with Cable TV and Netflix. A DVD library with a few kids DVDs are provided. A selection of board and card games along with a few books is available. There is a large deck with a beautiful mountain view, a charcoal grill, and a fire pit for roasting marshmallows or just chasing away the evening chill.
Please note there is house next door that is sometimes occupied. The deck and the living room of the cabin is set so there is no view of the house although the house is visible from the kitchen and master bedroom window.

Located just 6 miles from the town of West Jefferson where many festivals are held and many artisans keep shop. The town is a mecca of art galleries and other interesting shops, offers a few restaurants, bars, an ice cream parlor, and a coffee shop. Mary’s Episcopal Church containing 3 of Ben Long’s frescoes is nearby. This is the only place in NC where cheese is made, and you can watch at the Ashe County Cheese factory downtown. The Ashe County Arts Council showcases local artists with rotating exhibits and special events. West Jefferson hosts a Christmas in July festival and has 15 murals that create a walking tour throughout downtown. There are free summer concerts on the backstreet, a weekly Saturday and Wednesday farmers’ market, monthly gallery crawls, one of the biggest arts & crafts festivals in the high country, an antique festival, little theater performances, and annual holiday events.

If you choose to visit area attractions, historic Todd, Glendale Springs, Grandfather Mountain, Linville Falls, Tweetsie Railroad, Blowing Rock, Boone NC, Mount Rogers and Grayson Highlands State Park, Pond Mountain, and Elk Knob State Park are all within 30 to 60 minutes’ drive.

Immaculate cabin with all the comforts, supplies and space you need for a family of four. Great value. We will be back!

Excellent cabin, host and location. The cabin is very cozy with all the required (and more) amenities. During our stay we have hiked the mountain behind the cabin and it was a unique experience in wilderness exploring a small stream and a small water falls.

Mike and Danna have a lovely cabin with everything you could want to have a wonderful stay! Everything was so clean and the cabin was absolutely everything that we were looking for in a vacation home. It should be noted that the owners have a home right next door, so the cabin is not as isolated as the pictures indicated. During our stay, the owners were there for our first day, but then vacated and let us know they would be gone for the duration of our stay. For some renters this may not be a deal breaker, but it should be kept in mind. I highly recommend this location, as it was so peaceful! The views were fantastic and the location is a 15-minute drive to West Jefferson so we were easily able to get groceries and utilize all of the kitchen items for wonderful meals. We look forward to returning

Joanne2016-08-10T00:00:00Z

We enjoyed our stay with grand kids room for just 4 unless you bring air bed or sleep on couch. Could receive calls on phone at cabin but no out calls got busy signal always . Will be coming back. Suggestion up grade lazy boy recliner at least 1 to sleep in

Glenn2017-07-02T00:00:00Z

Mike and Danna are such graciois hosts. The home was spotless and perfect. The kitchen was well equipped along with everything else. Our only regret was that our stay was not longer. We will certainly recommend their lovely home to friends. And we will definitely be coming back again.

Buzz2016-11-13T00:00:00Z

We immediately felt right at home in this cute cozy cabin. They had everything you needed for cooking and just hanging around enjoying the scenery!! Our kids loved the gas fireplace and it added an extra touch to the space. We would definitely love to come back for another stay!

Alicia2016-02-21T00:00:00Z

We absolutely loved the cabin and location. It was only about 10 minutes from West Jefferson but felt very secluded and deep in the mountains. The pastoral setting was completely relaxing. We enjoyed the near constant visits of hummingbirds to our porch feeder and the cows in the pasture moving about during the day. The cabin was very clean and not cluttered with owner's belongings. The kitchen had a large amount of working space and plenty of pots/pans/knives for a couple that loves to cook. We loved the granite counters and especially the bar and stools where we could prep food off our feet. Loved the practically empty pantry ready to stock our food and hold cooler and bags out of sight and out of the way. We'll be back !!!

Kelly's home was great. She was very kind and friendly. The room was comfortable and the view was beautiful.

shirley2015-07-20T00:00:00Z

This was exactly what I wanted, a very secluded and enchanted forest setting. Kelly, your home is a beautiful combination of artistic and rustic comfort. Your unique collection of art and photography on the walls continued to fascinate me. You are a very warm and welcoming presence, and I thank you for letting me relax and explore as I pleased(URL HIDDEN) enjoyed lounging on the deck rockers with a book, or just eyeing the peaceful view as it waned from sunny to rainy, day to night. I had some magickal walks in the woods and along the creeks. I enjoyed a hot baths and showers. I was able to bring my own groceries and make meals in the kitchen and enjoy her teas. I have actually stayed in several of the Kelly's rooms at other times before she was on airbnb, and even attended a women's retreat that shifted and expanded my life in ways I cannot even begin to express in this venue. I am so grateful that she has been able to create this uniquely nurturing space and share it with others! Kelly's place is a "one of a kind" treat!

Kassie2015-05-01T00:00:00Z

This unique cabin has spiritual vibe and can be used for retreats. Our room was super comfortable with a private spacious bathroom. The pictures do not do this place justice. Off the beaten path, but convenient to quaint West Jefferson and paddling the New River. We basically had the place to ourselves as Kelly was out and about much of the time. There was fresh coffee every morning which we enjoyed on the front porch swing. There were millions of blueberries on 50 bushes just outside the back door which Kelly let us pick!!! She knows all about the community and is a local artist. Everybody around seemed to know her! :) Her photographs are amazing and sprinkled about the place among so many interesting items. Kelly helped us find the perfect place to enjoy our trip down the New River. I would recommend her comfortable home absolutely! Thank you Kelly!

Lisa2016-07-17T00:00:00Z

Quiet and remote location. Very interesting and welcoming home. Beautiful morning and evening views from the deck.

Steve2017-09-28T00:00:00Z

Kelly was a great host. Her home is beautiful, welcoming and comfortable. The view from the deck is amazing. I would stay here again and recommend it to others.

Melissa2015-05-26T00:00:00Z

Kelly was a great host! She took us in at the last minute and was extremely accommodating throughout our trip. Our room was very comfortable, with more than enough room to sleep three very tired hikers at the end of the day. Overall a wonderful experience!

Michael2015-10-19T00:00:00Z

Kelly's mountainside log cabin is absolutely lovely. The room was comfortable and cozy and the french doors out to the porch were a real treat. She rents out other rooms in her home as well, so while I was there I got to socialize with other guests near the warm wood stove while we ate and drank together. In the morning, I enjoyed sipping tea from the front porch as I watched the cool autumn fog burn off from the valley below.

Sara2015-10-12T00:00:00Z

Kelly was a lovely hostess and her house is like a work of art! Her bathroom looks like a destination resort spa! Kelly was great about giving us directions to a wedding we were attending, and invited me to stay for a community retreat she was hosting the next day. I would definitely recommend her, our first Air B&B experience was wonderful!

Camping at private lake. 7 acres of swimming lake and hiking trails at your doorstep. Nearby New river for tubing , kayaking, or flyfishing. Property has trout stream running throughout. Use as base-camp for excursions to lake
Watauga, ziplining ,whitewater rafting, and many other mountain activities. I have several tents for guests after first 2 guests, they must bring sleeping bags after more than 2 guests. I can host large groups and I encourage FUN! The value here is in the lake itself

This property sits in high mountain valley in Blue Ridge Mountains of NC. Elevation is 3300 ft, which mean lower temps than in the lower eastern half of the state. Summers are mild at 80's daytime and 50 night time temps. One of the few swimming holes in the area and popular spot for some. The 7 acre spot is private ,but has 20 leaseholders that come and go for camping and swimming. SO you may have peace and quiet, you may meet some new friends to swim and bbq with.

19th century farmhouse, restored for the 21st century guest, in the Blue Ridge Mountains on the headwaters of the New River, in a verdant peaceful setting with porches and mountain views.

Sleep late in a main floor bedroom with double bed/futon, heated floor, private bath featuring antique tub and walk-in shower, opening onto a covered pergola with table and chairs, swing, rocker, and creek sounds. An additional bedroom is available (for an additional charge of $45) upstairs with queen bed, using downstairs bathroom.
A varied hot or cold breakfast menu is available.
Enjoy the wood burning cook stove in the modern kitchen, breakfast on the deck or read in the front porch swing. Stroll through the vegetable garden with honey bees, by the koi pond, in the pasture, or along wooded paths, and cool your feet in the shaded stream.

The house is conveniently located 8 miles from Elk Knob State Park, 22 miles from W. Jefferson galleries and restaurants, 23 miles from the cultural resources of Boone, 18 miles to Todd's canoeing, picnicking and concerts, 24 miles from Damascus and the Virginia creeper trail, and 9 miles to the nearest golf course. Hiking, climbing, canoeing, skiing, sightseeing, and shopping are all a short drive away from this private respite from the 21st century.

This is a beautiful home surrounded by incredible land. A great spot to relax and close enough to Boone for great restaurants. The hosts are well versed on the history of the area so not only did I have a wonderful restful visit I heard oodles of great stories. Being prepared a cooked breakfast every morning with local eggs and berries from the garden for my yogurt was an unexpected treat and so appreciated to start another day of adventure exploring the area. I cannot praise the whole experience high enough , the friendliness of the hosts and the privacy of my room, private shower, claw bathtub and my own patio by the creek. Superb!

Denny2017-07-14T00:00:00Z

A truly delightful place - far beyond what we could have imagined! It reminded me of the house in the movie "Enchanted April" - the kind of place that one would love to just spend time in and enjoy the beauty of nature so seamlessly woven into the fabric of this home! Pat and Bob are such wonderful people - so down to earth and very charming. They showed us around their farm with all the berries and fruits and amazing bee-hives! And the breakfast was like eating in a gourmet organic restaurant - fresh eggs directly from the farm, with home made bread and jam and honey fresh from the bee hive - simply out of this world!

Manik2017-07-10T00:00:00Z

Pat and Bob's place exceeded our hopes in many ways! This was my mom's first experience of traveling with me and staying at an Air BnB; we chose to stay there, on the occasion of leaving Florida during hurricane Irma. Our quarters were very cozy and private; the bath was relaxing and the shower refreshing. Everything was clean and comfortable! We sincerely enjoyed breakfasts together with Pat and Bob, on many occasions chatting and watching the unfolding news and weather developments! We also enjoyed various conversations on philosophy, culture, nature, the land and life, the arts, poetry and so much more! Pat and Bob were exceedingly generous with us, and extended a safe and heart-warming place for us to restore, before returning to Florida. They were also very kind to refer us to a local mechanic and a few other resources that we needed while we were there. The property is exceedingly beautiful and the air so fresh - best of all the mountain views, the air and the water were free! Although it is about 30 min from Boone, it was a real treat to come and go into the town, as the road was incredibly beautiful for us, along the way. We were so grateful - coming from city life, these high class commodities are not so readily available for us! We will long-remember this trip fondly, and hope that our paths will again soon cross with Pat and Bob! A giant thank you!

Esther2017-09-09T00:00:00Z

At risk of encouraging visitors and never being able to book a stay here again... this stay, their home, the hospitality and last but certainly NOT least Pat and Bob were amazing! We leave with tears. Our stay at their home was nothing short of perfect. We needed the peace, quiet and comfort they provided. We leave honestly feeling like we've left family. As hosts they are extremely knowledgeable about the area and activities while also being sensitive to our needs including privacy. The property is picturesque; providing privacy, serenity and relaxation. Their home is well, like going to grandmas for the holidays. If you choose to stay at this historic farmhouse you won't be disappointed! Just please leave room for us...

Woodland Harvest Farm is a beautiful place! We enjoyed the fireflies in the evening and listening to all the birds and woodland creatures. We had great fire going with the dry wood that was stored under the cabana. It's just a great place to rest and recharge. Our host was warm and welcoming!

Karen2017-06-17T00:00:00Z

Great place. Exactly as described

Madison2017-07-15T00:00:00Z

Our stay at the farm was great. It was easy to find and Tim met us when we arrived and showed us the lay of the land. The whole place is totally off the grid and rustic, so if you are looking for luxury, look elsewhere. If, however, you want an authentic experience, to step away from technology and the rat race, and meet some great people (and animals!), I highly recommend the farm. It is secluded and quiet but close enough to the interstate and town. We will definitely stay again when we are down that way!

Zach2017-07-10T00:00:00Z

As advertised! Thanks for a great stay!

Luke2017-08-14T00:00:00Z

15 minutes from downtown West Jefferson. Although this place is 1 mile off the paved road, access is still easy, even by motorcycles. The property offers a mountain side to explore and peace and quiet to rest with fabulous views.
The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, cook wear, coffee maker, and many utensils, yet very small, with limited counter space. All linens are provided and bathroom amenities include, soap, shampoo and hairdryer.

Great place for a couples getaway or a small family. This cabin is not suitable for toddlers.

Chestnut Farms is a year round and weekender neighborhood. Great place for morning walks (or runs), bird watching and listening to the creek.

The Brown Cabin was exactly what we were hoping for!!. If you are looking for a place that is quiet and peaceful... look no farther!! You can relax on the porch, read a book, listen to the water in the creek etc. It is nice and cozy on the inside if you get stuck inside from the rain. The town is close enough - if you need to be around people. We had a lovely time!! We will be back!!

Karla 2017-08-12T00:00:00Z

The large porch extends the length of the cabin. Take a moment to enjoy the first class view from the porch swing. This cabin is what " Front Porch Living " is all about. The interior is open and offers lots of space for everyone. From the large living area to the nicely equipped game room, everyone will enjoy.

You can sit on the front porch and listen to the stream that runs the entire length of the property. Large fire pit in the front yard is a great place to enjoy the sunset with family and friends. Firewood is provided on site for $20 per bundle. Please adhere to the honor system and leave payment in the cabin.
The game room is a nice place to practice ping pong or shoot hoops on the indoor basket ball game. The custom made domino table is a one of a kind. Use it to play the classic game,build a puzzle or play cards.
The porch swing says it all. Sit back and take in the view of the Appalachian Mountains.

The property is beautiful. When we ran into a few problems, Cecil was extremely responsive and accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. Cecil will be on your team is a great host to work with!

Pros:Secluded beautiful area. Large basement with ping pong table. Nice deck with views. Cons: We were disappointed that the kitchen was lacking - horrible lighting. We used headlamps to read toaster oven dial and cook. Pans and pots really bad shape- no pan for pancakes or bacon. Linens are old and comforters look like they came from goodwill. Stains and torn. Fire pit was so overgrown there were 5 foot tall bushes hanging over it. Filled with burnt cans. Walls don't go to ceiling for bedrooms so very loud if you have a group. Coffee maker didn't work. Light didn't work in toilet alcove in bathroom.

Great job! Would stay again!

Cecil's place is a fantastic get away if you're trying to stay close to great hiking. If you're looking for a reclusive weekend with friends or family, his place is a great place to be. With a food lion close by, it's a easy to get food together for a cook out on his wrap around patio overlooking his plot of land. I recommend his place and would love to visit again!

Harrison2017-06-18T00:00:00Z

This was a beautiful cabin situated on a stunningly gorgeous property. We loved having access to a fire pit for evening smores with our kids, and the porch was a perfect spot for morning coffee. Cecil was responsive to our concerns, courteous, and helpful. Two issues we ran into with the property were (1) the kitchen supplies were somewhat limited and not high quality, which wasn't a huge deal for our trip but could be important to other travelers, and (2) the wifi wasn't working during our stay. Those are really nits, though, because overall it was a lovely spot that we would love to come back to.

John2017-09-24T00:00:00Z

Tucked way back along a private spot in the mountains if this incredible secluded oasis. Two levels make this spot fun for friends getting together or, in my case, some bonding time with the family. The rustic feel will make you feel cozy and comfortable the moment you walk in. If you love sitting on the porch swing (or rocking chairs, your choice!) and watching the wildlife stroll by this is the perfect place for you. It's far from city life and close to several national parks, fishing and outdoor activities. There's even a local super market just a quick dive up the street. Cecil's place was incredible. I highly recommend it and hope to have the opportunity to come back again soon.

I booked this home last minute due to Hurricane Irma for 1 week to evacuate south Florida. Cecil was good with communication, however the house was very unsanitary. The kitchen counters were sticky, I had to purchase my own pots and pans to cook with, there was a family of wasps in the dining room that we had to get rid of ourselves, the master bedroom carpets were stained horribly and smelt like urine, the master shower head was covered in gunk, I had to clean the toilet seat myself because it looked like it had not been done and there were no trash cans (which I understand because of animals) but trash pickup only happened after I called 4 days in so we had to keep the bags piled up inside the whole time. Only 1 of the 3 TV's worked (living room only) but had no remote, so you had to Turn volume up, down and off manually. The so called fire pit was so built up with weeds, shrubs and lots of cans/trash that we couldn't even use it. We tried to cut some of it down ourselves but it wasn't enough. At least there was a Publix and Mellow Mushroom 45 minutes away. All in all I was very disappointed, I should have purchased a generator and stayed during the Hurricane, I would have saved money. Considering it was an emergency you would think we would have received a break since we left the Airbnb 2 days early, but I still have yet to get a response back from Cecil regarding all of these issues in the home.

This property was awesome! Plenty of room and very clean. The location is great, tucked away far away from the nearest cabins - we had a terrific vacation here.

I loved staying at Kelly's place! It is nestled beautifully into the mountains in a quiet corner of North Carolina. It is perfect for those seeking a fearful and restorative night away in the woods. She was very responsive and friendly in helping me find her place, which is a bit off the main roads (though it is well worth the beautiful drive)! Her place is incredibly special - filled with interesting treasures and amazing books. I loved the porch swing, especially!

Katie2016-05-18T00:00:00Z

Beautiful place to stay! Kelly is very hospitable and went out of her way to help us feel welcome. Definitely stay again!

James 2017-07-02T00:00:00Z

I've had many fine Air Bnb stays over the last several years and this was one of my favorites. Great host, spectacular location and interesting conversation with the Kelly and other guests. I instantly felt welcomes and at home. I hope I can return soon.

Michael2016-04-29T00:00:00Z

Kelly made us feel welcome. Our room was clean and we enjoyed Kelly's hospitality very much.

gary2016-08-16T00:00:00Z

Kelly was very flexible about check in time and made it work for us! In communication, she was prompt, courteous, and respectful in tone. I had to keep delaying my check in time because of travel delays. Even though it was late when we arrived, she came out to greet us and say welcome. She showed us the rooms and the kitchen and introduced us to Fiona the cat, who is the cuddliest lap cat you could imagine. The house and grounds were beautiful, peaceful, and quiet. She gave great directions to the house. Everything was perfect, and I wished we could have stayed another night. In the morning, there was fresh coffee and a lot of tea varieties. The house has a lot of interesting seating areas, indoor and outdoor. I highly recommend you try out Kelly's place.

Lindsey2015-09-20T00:00:00Z

This is a truly amazing place to stay. Kelly is an incredible host and her house is amazing in so many ways. The beds are comfortable, the bathroom is incredibly clean with organic soaps and shampoos. As a host, Kelly is kind, thoughtful, generous but also understands that everyone is on their own agenda and gives guests space. Her home is a short 10 minute or so drive from West Jefferson, off the main road and up a little hill, surrounded by forest, hummingbirds and peace. She's very much knowledgeable about the local area and can make suggestions in case you have questions about what to do or where to eat. I would recommend her place to anyone. It's the kind of home that speaks to e as a conscious traveller and I wish this sort of Air B'n'B was in every town in every country throughout our solar system and beyond. The Internet is super fast and if you're lucky to be up early when Kelly is making expresso, you'll be chilling with her and Fiona sipping a good cup of joe. Thanks Kelly, looking forward to my next visit!

B2017-06-10T00:00:00Z

Kelly is really friendly and nice. Her house is really lovely, with a balcony facing the mountain views. She also knows around well and helped us find out where is the best to go.

Niki2016-10-09T00:00:00Z

Kelly was such a great host and accommodated our late arrival very graciously. The beds were very comfortable and the house was beautiful and clean (including kitchen and bathrooms). The setting is gorgeous. We will definitely stay here again next time we're in the vicinity! Thanks Kelly!

I stayed at the Woodland Farms cabin with my two kids, 12 and 9. We had an amazing time! The property is unbelievable, and the cabin was perfect! We needed some time to be tech free and recharge our spirits! The caretakers, robbie, jessie and mike, were very welcoming and made us feel right at home! The breakfast was delicious! I am a single mom and it was such a treat to feel cared for and have breakfast prepared for me!!! This is a great getaway for a single person, a couple or family!We are already thinking of returning!!!

Christie2015-08-12T00:00:00Z

We had a good time in the tiny cabin, it rained the whole weekend we came so we couldn't explore the farm as much as we wanted but we still had fun our hosts were very kind and even helped us with our bags in the pouring rain

(EMAIL HIDDEN)2015-09-27T00:00:00Z

I can't really put into words how wonderful this place is. I could tell you about their dogs, who are as yin and yang as they come. I could tell you about how warm and welcoming Elizabeth and Lisa were, and how after showing us around, they left us to our own devices for the entire weekend (which was exactly what we wanted). I could tell you how extensive the cabin library is, or how warm and toasty the wood burning stove gets the place in the mornings, or how much fun I had building fires, cooking, and relaxing with my girlfriend for a long weekend. But nothing I can tell you would really hit home just how great this place is. I left recharged, refreshed, and inspired. I only have two pieces of advice. Pack everything you'll need so you don't have to leave until you HAVE to leave. The cabin is far enough away from the main house that it'll feel like it's really just you out there, and that's part of the fun. Second, bring someone you love. This is the kind of place meant to be experienced as a couple(URL HIDDEN)

Ben2016-09-05T00:00:00Z

After quite a few days of tent camping in the rain with 4 kiddos, I found this little cabin. It was a welcome change and fun learning experience for the kids. Elizabeth was very welcoming and the cabin was exactly as described. Wish we'd had more time in our schedule to explore longer than a quick overnight.

Ashley2016-08-18T00:00:00Z

Communications with the owner(s) was simply amazing and up-to-date in this new world of social media, texting etc! We decided on the spur of the moment to take a one-night trip and discovered an over-night sensation! When we arrived the grounds caretaker had already started a fire in the cabin to welcome us to our 24 hour trip back in time. If you want rustic enjoyment of the REAL North Caroline, give these ladies your credit card and come on up to ASHE county. Our parties' only regret was that we did NOT get to meet Elizabeth & Lisa. Hope to one day for sure. Anyway; aptly named "RUSTIC WOODLAND CABIN PARADISE"! Kudos ladies, much appreciated.

Don2014-11-02T00:00:00Z

We were extremely disappointed with our stay! We live in the country; camp, mountain bike, and hike. We are not opposed to sleeping in a tent which would have been better than staying in this cabin. It was filthy and uninhabitable. We could hear mice and rats all night scurrying around. The cat that hung around for hours was hungry and wouldn't even allow us to sit down on the deck. She jumped up from the ground and clawed my husband. I felt bad for her because she just wanted something to eat which we did give her. The mattresses should be burned. I was excited to check out the books but they were not welcoming to all people but focused on one main theme. The place outside of the cabin is in major disrepair and needs to be cleaned up. I'm glad we didn't bring our son because it was not a healthy place to stay and there was no playground; just a trampoline with weeds growing through it and a broken tire swing. The "hot shower" was a mold and algae covered tub with broken screening around it and I wouldn't dare sit down on the filthy compost toilet. We really tried to be open-minded and the host did respond quickly to messages. Overall, we felt we were duped in to paying for something not accurately represented on the airbnb webpage. We left very early the next morning and will not be referring our friends to this site. This could be a nice place but needs a LOT of work before it is presented as a getaway for hardworking folks expecting to relax.

Lori2017-09-16T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful time exploring the property and staying in the cabin. The hosts were super friendly and very helpful. The cabin was clean and cozy. The grounds were beautiful and great fun for our 5 year old son to explore.

Brian2015-04-30T00:00:00Z

The cabin is beautiful, and perfect for a relaxing mountain hideaway. The library has something for everyone. Bring plenty of candles for light. I had some trouble with the hot water for the outdoor shower. Potable water available for drinking and cooking. The camp stove is a nice addition for those who enjoy cooking. Overall, a wonderful experience. Private, quiet, and plenty of four-legged friends to keep you company.

Kelly was exceedingly warm and friendly and her mountain retreat was amazing despite the weather blocking the view of the mountains. I will definitely be back to stay again soon!

Michael2016-10-08T00:00:00Z

Beautiful place and Kelly is very sweet, I was in my monk fasting mode so I did not visit much with her , the porch with swinging couch was amazing with great views, does not get any better then this .

Don2017-04-19T00:00:00Z

While I didn't get to stay long at all, the time I was there was very nice. The cabin is secluded and so peaceful. Everything is clean and Kelly is super friendly and accomodating. I would definitely recommend anyone to stay at her place!

Rhonda2017-08-20T00:00:00Z

The weekend was an adventure from beginning to end, something different every minute, surprise after surprise. Kelly attracts astounding friends. So much was happening that people seemed to drop by just to find out the latest. Her home has everything, heated floors in a three-story craftsman log home, several extensive collections, surrounded by wooded mountains. The weather was so warm in December we could eat outside. I feel like I've made several friends for life.

Stuart2016-01-05T00:00:00Z

Kelly and her home are, each, an absolute delight. Kelly, herself, is warm, kind, unassuming, and welcoming. She's big into nature, sustainability, and community, and has a deeply calming presence. Her home is nothing short of magical, itself nestled in 53 acres of paradise. It's cozy, yet sufficiently spacious so as to provide for personal privacy. It's quiet, serene, and completely peaceful. Couldn't recommend this more as a place to which to get away; a true retreat.

I enjoyed my stay here so much I didn't want to leave. Kelly is a kind, friendly, welcoming, easy-going, and very accommodating person. She was incredibly interesting to talk to. She made me feel very much at home. She has a wonderful house hidden away from the street. In the morning waking up to the view in her back yard of the forest with a warm cup of coffee is pure bliss. It's a wonderful place to get away from the fast paced city life and relax. The room was very comfortable, clean, and inviting. Unfortunately I was only there for a night and during the days of my return trip home all of her rooms were occupied. I would have definitely stayed a few more nights. I would 100% recommend Kelly's house to anyone.

Tijana2016-06-27T00:00:00Z

Kelly is a fantastic host and the property is exceptional. Totally private, spacious, quiet and serene with comfortable accommodations and the best views imaginable! There are gardens and apple trees, and Kelly is very knowledgeable about the area. She is very kind and personable. You will sleep like a baby. Wonderful place to stay. I will be back anytime I am in the area.

Heidi2016-08-31T00:00:00Z

Kelly was great. I requested a late booking because of rain (I was going to camp out) and it turned out great. Her house is beautiful and Kelly was welcoming. I look forward to heading back.

Kristian2016-08-11T00:00:00Z

Kelly was so delightful and such a gracious host! The house is beautiful and well-maintained and exceptionally cozy. Waking up Sunday morning to the smell of the wood-burning stove set my entire week off on the right foot! I'll be back for sure.

Jess2015-11-09T00:00:00Z

As fine a get away as you are going to find. A clean mountaintop lodge full of art. A kind and helpful host who also happens to be wise. A great place to both hide from the world and to meet some very interesting and intelligent people as they also pass through. Private and quiet. There's a cool little town with good eats and beer ten miles down the road.

Michael2016-07-04T00:00:00Z

Everything was as described. I enjoyed my two night stay in Kelly's cozy house out in the mountains. The view from the porch is incredible. The room was as expected. I can only recommend staying here.

Meike2016-05-31T00:00:00Z

I arrived in the evening, and was greeted warmly by Kelly & her housemate JR. I was actually upgraded to the three top mountain retreat room. Kelly's place was just as described. Secluded, peaceful, with a gorgeous view. I woke up to the sunrise, and the morning was clear so I could see the sun coming up over the mountains. Due to unseasonably warm weather, we were able to sit out on the deck and enjoy the sun, along with Fiona the cat (who is very sweet and friendly). Kelly & JR were both very friendly and we visited for a bit in the morning. Kelly is a class A host, and provided tea & coffee (even made me some bulletproof coffee when I asked about it). I would definitely recommend Kelly as a host. Would love to come back again.

lysandra2015-12-28T00:00:00Z

My stay in the Solitary Peace Room could not have been any better. The room was quaint, comfortable, and was the only occupied room on the whole bottom floor of the house so I did feel as though I was getting in anyone's way. The morning after I arrived Kelly introduced me to bulletproof coffee, which I will absolutely continue to enjoy back at home, even though it won't be quite the same when I can't enjoy it on a balcony overlooking the mountains. I spent most of my time hiking in the Grayson Highlands and on the Appalachian Trail just a short drive away, but even that would not have been as incredible without the fresh blueberries that I picked from the backyard each morning before day hikes, and if I hadn't been able to come back and relax on the porch swing with Fiona the cat and an incredible view of the mountains. I can't recommend Kelly and her home enough if you want to know what Airbnb is all about.

This large cabin is a secret getaway. Plenty of space for a fun get a away with friends or family. Yes, Kelly is usually home but will leave you to your own pleasure to stay in or explore the High Country.

The home is unique, comfortable, and open with a 60' front deck with rocking chairs, a table for dining, and a view of Three Top Mountain. The kitchen has everything you might need, just ask...Coffee and tea are available... No TV but you can stream...or listen to the sound of...the holler!

This place is rural and I love it. 15 minutes from West Jefferson a quaint town with many art galleries, antique malls, a brewery, NC only cheese factory, and popular restaurants. Boone is a 50 minute drive. There are many great hiking trails and canoeing on the New River... not too far away and biking on the VA creeper.

Kelly was the most amazing host this group of six could have asked for. She made us feel right at home in her beautiful cabin over Thanksgiving break. The deck has an awesome mountain view, and we were able to have a bonfire, with which she generously supplied us wood and joined us for great fireside conversation. We were able to use her utensils and cooking supplies for a huge Thanksgiving feast. Coming from the city, this was the ultimate sanctuary in terms of the night sky, the stunning quiet save for deer running around and birds singing, and a fully-stocked, tranquil cabin we were able to call home for a few days. Kelly is someone you'd love to talk to but will also give you space to enjoy the holler. We would certainly love to return.

Taylor2016-11-26T00:00:00Z

Located about 10-15 minutes away from downtown West Jefferson, Kelly's lodge was a great find. The home was clean and the view from the back porch was beautiful, especially at night. I stayed in early July and there were hundreds of fireflies in the valley below. The low light pollution made the stars clearly visible as well. Kelly was a very welcoming and responsive host.

Patrick2016-07-03T00:00:00Z

Kelly is a gem! Really enjoyed talking with her, and loved her beautiful home! Loved the ambience, the stars, the blueberry bushes, and the wonderful "out of the way" feel.

Roz2016-08-01T00:00:00Z

I'm with a group of 9 runners that was doing a relay through North Carolina. I've never used airbnb before, but we decided to give it a try. Throughout the prearrival Kelly communicated with me, checking in periodically and letting me know that she'd be out of town but her house sitter would be there. We arrived with perfect directions from Kelly to find a great place just outside of town. It's in a beautiful setting at the top of a hill with awesome views from the back porch. It's got a ton of room (all 9 of us were able to have our own bed), we had full access to a very well equipped kitchen, and it was spotlessly clean (I mean it - the place was impeccable). Her house sitter Brook was super sweet, helped us out and even left cut up watermelon on the counter for us the next morning. I can't say enough about how great this worked out for us, and highly recommend that you check it out. Don't forget to say hi to her kitty Fiona - she's a sweetie!
